I bought a very expensive camera the day I left for Timor-Leste
This is the result of that purchase
Surrealist landscapes are one of my favorite artistic styles. Something about seeing something grand and interesting makes my monkey brain go wild.
Landscapes are sick. I love a photo of something that makes me want to be where the photographer is. I hope you all can have a similar reaction to any of these photos.

Beach in Dili and my friend Ruby.
Beach in Dili along the main scenic route. As soon as the sun begins to fall, it fills with locals, street vendors, and plenty of variety.
Letefoho Specialty Coffee. A specialty coffee shop in Timor Leste! My favorite kind of place and one I would spend hours in every day if I lived in Dili.
The hills to the south of Gleno with my host family's corn tall and swaying.
More of the hills south of Gleno, the tall trees that remind people of the planet Pandora are important for providing shade to the wild that grows wild here.
Idyllic view from the hill that houses the church in Gleno.
Cross with beautiful views behind the church in Gleno
Tuk-Tuk! Xanana reading room.
The back yard of my host family in Gleno. The kitchen is the large building on the right. The gaps in the walls are important to ventilate smoke from the stove fire.
Goats! This is behind Cristo Rei, the large Statue of Christ looking over the bay in Dili. Litter is unfortunately a very common sight in Timor-Leste.
Beautiful cove on the far side of Cristo Rei away from the capital Dili.
More views from Cristo Rei. Lovely and popular spot for a morning hike.
